Elecrtical problem

7 Outlets do not work, two outlets do work. Refrigerator, microwave, water heater also work. One of the maintenance man in the park took the GFI outlet off and tested the wires. The wires going into the GFI outlet were not hot. My inverter Outlet is not working. If there was an issue with my inverter would it knock all the other outlets out? The two outlets that do work are not near water, and are definitely pole Outlets. Meaning they only work when I'm plugged into a pole. Any ideas? I have put a call into an RV repairman. Sure would like to fix it myself.

Yes , depending on the inverter , there may be a defective internal relay that should switch over when park power is supplied and ; if equipped ; start charging the batteries.

Any info you have on your inverter , make/model , will help other member provide better answers.

The power side of the GFIC outlet was dead , did the fellow go as far as testing the circuit breaker , many times loose connections in the breaker box can cause these types of issues. There's even a chance the breaker is defective.
